Background.Neuropathic complications from diabetes mellitus affect multiple nerve types and may manifest in gait.However, gait compensations are still poorly understood, as narrow analyses and lack of speed controls have contributed to conflicting or equivocal results.Purpose.To evaluate gait mechanics and energetics in diabetic peripheral polyneur
The oncogenic axis YAP/MYC/EZH2 impairs PTEN tumor suppression activity enhancing lung tumorigenicity
Abstract The tumor suppressor PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted in chromosome 10) is genetically deleted or downregulated in many cancer types.Loss of PTEN protein expression is frequently found in lung cancer while genetic alterations are less abundant.PTEN expression is regulated at multiple genetic and epigenetic levels and even parti
Visually guided avoidance in the chameleon (Chamaeleo chameleon): response patterns and lateralization.
The common chameleon, Chamaeleo chameleon, is an arboreal lizard with highly independent, large-amplitude eye movements.In response to a moving threat, a chameleon on a perch responds with distinct avoidance movements read more that are expressed in its continuous positioning on the side of the perch distal to the threat.We analyzed body-exposure p
Piperonylbutoxide as a Dubious Cause of Cardiac Manifestations in Pyrethroid Insecticide Poisoning; a Letter to Editor
There is little Jeans evidence regarding pyrethroid poisoning manifesting with cardiac problems in the literature.Many authors, however, adopted that pyrethroids have a direct effect on heart tissue and can cause cardiotoxicity.Interestingly, no experimental studies have yet determined its mechanism of toxicity on cardiac muscle cells.This letter a
